I was thrilled to see two, full-page ads in the Wall Street Journal recently regarding health-care reform paid for byRethinkReform.com. At $196,000+ a page, that’s some serious commitment to counter the ‘stretch’ Pelosi’s and Harry Reid’s of the world.

Americans to Senate Democrats: “Add to our 36 trillion dollar Medicare debt and YOU WILL BE HISTORY.”

I for one appreciate that investment and so should you. Here’s why.

The centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMMS) recently issued an independent analysis of the legislation and eviscerated nearly every single promise the President has made about his health care plan:

It raises health care costs

Causes millions of Americans to lose their health care coverage

Forces millions of Americans to pay fines and still receive no health care coverage

Causes millions of seniors to lose their Medicare Advantage plans

Places millions of Americans on welfare

Jeopardizes Medicare access for all seniors

Worsens health care access for the poor

The latest CNN poll shows 61% of American now oppose the health, but DO NOT UNDER ESTIMATE THE LENGTHS THE LIBERALS AND SPECIAL INTERESTS WILL GO TO PASS THIS MONSTROSITY!

Here are some of the key people who could prove to be pivotal in any health care vote:

Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins on the republican side

Ben Nelson, democratic Senator from Nebraska

Blanche Lincoln, democrat from Arkansas

Arlen Specter, democrat

Joe Lieberman, independent senator

I suggest you call or fax all of them and tell them NOT to vote for the health care bill. Here’s an easy way to do it.

White House Comments Line M-F, 9-5 EST: 202-456-1111

White House Switchboard (ask for Senator by name: 202-456-1414

White House Fax: 202-456-2461

Try to leave a specific message if you cannot reach a live person. It takes perseverance, they don’t really want to hear from you, but don’t let that discourage you. And of course, call the Hawaii Senators too.

Like this:

We’ve all heard a lot lately about health care reform, deficit spending, government promises (my personal favorite is President Obama saying he will not sign any health care bill that raises the deficit one dime), etc.

Coverage of the Tea Party Express Across America and the demonstrations at the Capitol this past weekend gives one hope and encouragement. But here’s SOMETHING SIMPLE YOU CAN DO TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND IT’S EASY! Like the old adage, KISS (keep it simple, stupid).

Call, fax or email your Senators and Representatives today and simply ask them if they are IN or OUT. Click here for contact info on all your reps.

Sen. Inouye Phone: (202) 224-3934, Fax: (202) 224-6747

Sen. Akaka Phone: (202) 224-6361, Fax: (202) 224-2161

Rep. Hirono Phone: (202) 225-4906, Fax: (202) 225-4987

White House Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 to get connected to any other members of Congress

It’s simple. Tell them if they don’t adhere to these 5 items, they’ll be out in 2010.

TO CONGRESS, THE FIVE PLEDGES

1. I believe in a balanced budget and therefore will vote for a freeze in government spending until that goal is realized.

2. I believe government should not increase the financial burden on its citizenry during difficult economic times; therefore I will oppose all tax increases until our economy has rebounded.

3. I believe more than four decades of US dependence on foreign oil is a travesty, therefore I will support an energy plan that calls for immediately increasing usage of all domestic resources including nuclear energy, natural gas and coal as necessary.

4. I believe in the sovereignty and security of our country and therefore will support measures to close our borders except for designated immigration points so we will know who is entering and why. I will vehemently oppose any measure giving another country, the United Nations, or any other entity power over US citizens.

5. I believe America is the greatest country on earth and therefore will not apologize for policies or actions which have served to free more and feed more people around the world than any other nation on the planet.

I’ll bet you didn’t see this tasty tidbit anywhere in the mainstream media, but there’s more than a few reasons NOT to extend the CASH FOR CLUNKERS program. Never mind that it’s just another bailout. You know we’re all sick of those -until it’s something we want.

“Yeah, I was going to buy a car anyway. Mine gets crappy mileage so why not take a ‘free’ handout from the government?”

But what people don’t realize is the open sesame to blatant intrusion right into our own computers when accessing the CARS.gov website. This was not covered by mainstream media or their blogs, but a ‘Constitutional Watchdog’ saw it when logging on to Cars.gov and reported it to Fox News. They went right to the White house to inquire about it and were told they were “re-working the language”, and then low and behold the CARS.gov access disclaimer disappeared completely from the Cars.gov website, begging the question, are they still accessing the info but not telling you? And what about the computers they already invaded before they got caught?

By the way, this program was so well thought out it was supposed to last through November and it ran out in less than a week! How’s that for government planning and accurate projections? Think Medicaid and Medicare, Health CareReform and Cap & Trade and other government programs if you decide to accept government cost estimates as the real deal.

And what real good does it do American car companies? Did you know only 47% of the Cash For Clunkers trade-ins went for cars sold by Detroit’s Big-3? The rest went to foreign car makers.

But the most frightening thing about Cash For Clunkers is it gave the government a chance to wedge their way into your computers if you were a car dealer using the program or if you were a customer who’s data was entered into those computers. The Feds now have legal access to that information. Watch this video and see what I mean. THIS IS FRIGHTENING! It’s beyond frightening and America, you better wake up!

Today I am talking about the Blue Dog Coalition in Congress. They are supposedly the fiscally conservative Democrats in Congress (I think there’s 50 of them-so they can have some sway). Recently they have had some success in slowing the Health Care bill, being ramma-lamma-jamma’ed down our throats (several pages of legislation, not read or understood or vetted or carefully thought out).

Below is the letter I sent to them and urge you to do the same. Cut and Paste it right into an email and to send it to: BlueDog@mail.house.gov.

This is just let you know we do not want any of the Health Care proposals currently being put forth. This is too big an issue to do quickly. NO GO FOR NOW.

Nobody disputes that Health Care needs fixing, but the plan the administration is urging you to pass has not been vetted, read or discussed. We the American public are sick and tired of having legislation rammed down our throats. THIS IS TOO EXPENSIVE and we urge you to come to your senses or risk being voted out. WE ARE SERIOUS, PISSED OFF AND WE ARE ORGANIZING.

Why this blog?

I can't stand it anymore! What is becoming of our country, our basic liberties?

After two careers (18 yrs as a dental hygienist, then 20 as a Realtor) I have to stand up and try to effect some change. I want to make it easier for you to do the same. We have to Get Off Our Butts and spread the word. There are more of us than they think, but we have to make ourselves known before it's too late.
